Percy's eyes fell upon Hazel,
"Ok, Hazel, truth or dare?"
"I did truth last turn, so I guess I'll do a dare." Hazel said, as she brushed some bangs out of her eyes.
"Hmm I dare you to play 7 minuets in Heaven with Frank" Percy smirked, but earned a few gasps across the room, and one Hiss from Nico, Annabeth just glared at him coldly.
Hazel blushed furiously, and slowly went to the closet with Frank leading the way.
Annabeth interjected, "I don't think she even knows what that is, why would you dare them to play that?"
"I don't know, it just seemed like something she would never do. I thought she would just chicken out or something."
After 7 minutes she came back fully dressed, and glaring at Percy along with a red faced Frank.
Now it was Hazel's turn, "Nico, truth or dare?"
Nico was relieved he no longer had to speak cat, but there were still things he didn't want Hazel and the others to know,
"Dare" he replied, feeling as though it was his only choice.
Hazel thought for a few minutes, she twirled her hair as she mouthed ideas to herself.
"I dare you to confess to the person you like that you like them, if they are in the room." Hazel felt it was cruel, but it may get things moving in their plan if Nico did indeed like Leo.
Nico's eyes widened, then he looked down.
"Hazel, dare him something else." Jason interjected.
All eyes were on Jason, and the mood slowly got tense as Nico just sat frozen in shock.
"Hazel, please, give him a new dare." Jason tried again, trying to add as much authority to his voice as he could.
"Nico, don't worry about it, I think I know who you like." Percy chimed in, smiling.
Nico looked up at him with eyes starting to tear up, "you do?" he barely asked.
"Yeah, I kinda suspected it for a while." Percy got up and walked over to Nico, he patted his head and continued, "You like Annabeth right?"
Nico looked down again, "no, Percy, not Annabeth."
Percy stopped patting his head, "you don't? You always seemed to avoid her and all, well I guess I assumed you liked her."
Nico only looked down, he pulled his knees to his chest, as he started to shake.
"Nico, I'm sure it's not that bad, who do you like?" Piper joined, now curious as ever.
Nico wanted nothing more than to die right then and there.
"Percy." Nico whispered.
"Did you say something Nico?" Percy asked.
"I... I like you Percy." Nico said a little louder.
The room went dead quiet.
Before anyone could say anything, Nico continued on, "I'm over it, it's ok. You have Annabeth; I never had a chance anyway." The rest of Nico's words turned into rambles as tears fell down his face. The last understandable words to leave Nico's mouth were "please don't hate me."
The group was silent in either shock, or heartbreak at Nico's confession. Jason resisted with all his might to interrupt, Hazel held a hand on her heart to keep it in her chest. Piper held her hands over her mouth, while Frank just looked puzzled.
Leo cut in, "See, not that bad. I always like people that are out of my league. Heck one of my crushes attempted to kill me a few times" Leo laughed as he sat next to Nico and wrapped an arm around him. "You're always going to be the same underworld Goth Prince, no matter who you like." Leo said, trying to be assuring and lighten the mood. "Ready to take your turn Casper?"
Nico only looked at leo for a few seconds before saying, "Leo, truth or dare?"
"Dare" Leo smiled, knowing that Nico was able to move on now.
"I dare you to sing a song by either Lady Gaga or Katy Perry" Nico said, a smile creeping onto his face.
"Haha, Alright Di Angelo, I got this!" Leo smiled as he stood up and recounted the lyrics in his head.
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, ready to start again? Do you ever feel you're so paper thin, like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?"
Leo made funny gestures as he attempted singing.
"Do you ever feel, already buried deep? Six feet under screams and no one seems to hear a thing.. Do you know that there's still a chance for you, there's a spark in you, You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine just own the night, like the Fourth of July."
Leo continued with his elaborate gestures, in fact, everyone swore he was about to become Elsa in a few minutes, only instead of snow, it would be fire.
"Cause Baby You're a firework! Common show 'em what your worth! Make 'em go oh oh oh! As you shoot across the sky-eye-eye! Baby you're a firework! Common let your colors burst! Make 'em go oh oh oh! You're gonna leave 'em going awe awe awe!"
Leo then preceded to walk around the room and play with a new person each time the song changed topic.
"You don't have to feel like a wasted space, you're original, cannot be replaced, if you only knew, what the future holds, after a hurricane, comes a rainbow!"
He said as he made the Sponge Bob imagination gesture.
"Maybe a reason why, all the doors are closed, is so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road Like a lighting bolt, your heart will glow, and when it's time you'll know" he turned to face everyone, "You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine just own the night, like the Fourth of July."
Leo made a gesture indicating to everyone to join in, Piper first, then Jason, Percy got in and Annabeth joined just for fun. Hazel, Frank and Nico settled for just watching.
"Cause Baby You're a firework! Common show 'em what your worth! Make 'em go oh oh oh! As you shoot across the sky-eye-eye! Baby you're a firework! Common let your colors burst! Make 'em go oh oh oh! You're gonna leave 'em going awe awe awe! Boom Boom Boom, even brighter than the moon moon moon, it's always been inside of you-oh-oh, now it's time to let it through-oh-oh. Cause Baby You're a firework! Common show 'em what your worth! Make 'em go oh oh oh! As you shoot across the sky-eye-eye! Baby you're a firework! Common let your colors burst! Make 'em go oh oh oh! You're gonna leave 'em going awe awe awe! Boom Boom Boom, even brighter than the moon moon moon, Boom Boom Boom, even brighter than the moon moon moon"
Everyone yelled the last part through a fit of giggles as they took ridiculous bows.
Leo turned to Jason, "Jason, truth or dare?"
"I feel a bit dangerous right now, I'll try one of your dares"
"Ok, I dare you to fly around the room with Nico until you're called on again"
Jason gave Nico the 'sorry bro' look as he picked him up 'kitten style'.
"If you drop me I swear-" Nico started but was cut off,
"Don't worry Nico, I won't, promise." and with that Jason lifted them both off the ground and flew forward to Piper.
"Piper, truth or dare?"
"I'll stick with truth" piper said smirking.
"What do you hate the most about me?"
"What? Why would you ask me something like that?"
"I just want to know" Jason replied now flying over to Frank's area.
Piper thought for a few minutes, then finally decided on
"You tense up too much. Every time we touch you tense up for the first five minutes before relaxing into it. It's hard to snuggle with someone who's stiff all the time." Piper then pouted.
When she looked at Jason for comfort all he did was shrug and smile back at her, Piper only sighed and continued,
"Otherwise I love you" Piper remarked cheerfully,"Annabeth, truth or dare?"
"Truth" she replied, knowing full well that she wasn't about to do anyone's dares in this group.
"If you had to date someone other than Percy who would it be?"
"Hmmm, either Leo or Jason, Jason and Percy have some of the noble skills in common, but Leo has the Seaweed brain aspect of Percy" Annabeth said through a half smile.
"Thank the gods I'm both" Percy smirked as he pulled Annabeth into his Embrace.
Annabeth squirmed around in his arms before getting out enough to ask, "Frank, truth or dare?"
"Truth" Frank looked away shyly.
"What happened between you and Hazel in the closet?"
Frank's face went bright red. He stammered before saying "stuff.."
"What kinda 'stuff'?" Annabeth pressed on.
Frank looked to Hazel, and Hazel gave him a look of reassurance.
"I explained the game, and..." Frank lit up all red, "and we kissed. That's all." Frank quickly sputtered out.
"Wow, real romantic, what's next, a date in the shed?" Leo mocked.
"Better than a date in the garage where your wing-man's a screwdriver." Frank retorted.
"Hey, screwdrivers are pretty Damn good at 'screwing' things if you know what I mean." Leo joked back.
The whole group let out a sound similar to "Ugh" at that crack.
"Nico, truth or dare?" Frank asked, changing the subject.
"Dare if it will get me down." Nico murmured.
"fine you can release him" Leo replied.
"Ok, Nico, I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with Leo, and you both have to at least kiss."
"I said dare, not torture." Nico replied flatly.
"Hey I'm not that bad." Leo interrupted, only earning him looks from the group saying 'yeah, it is that bad, maybe worse'.
"whatever, lets just get this over with." Nico said as he landed next to Leo and dragged him to the closet.
* I had a lot of people submit dares and such for the story, thank you everyone. I know someone wanted to see Hazel streaking, I just couldn't fit it in at all no matter how hard I tried, it was just too out of character for all of them, I'm sorry. Thank you very much. *
